Wyoming

Wyoming is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

As of November 2025, the estimated population of the Wyoming statistical area (Lv2) is around 10,065. This reflects a decrease from the 2021 Census figure of 10,111 people, representing a drop of 46 individuals or approximately 0.5%. The current resident population estimate of 10,045 by AreaSearch was derived from analysis of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and validation of five new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,409 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth in recent periods.

AreaSearch is utilising ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 are applied. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are used for all areas from 2032 to 2041. According to these projections, the Wyoming (SA2) population is expected to decline by 109 persons by 2041. However, specific age cohorts are anticipated to grow, notably the 85 and over age group which is projected to increase by 343 people during this period.

The level of residential development activity in Wyoming is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Wyoming has received around 7 residential building approvals annually over the past five financial years ending FY26. This totals an estimated 39 homes. As of FY26, 2 approvals have been recorded. The average expected construction cost value for new homes is $268,000, which is below regional levels, indicating more affordable housing options.

In FY26, there have been $2.2 million in commercial approvals, suggesting minimal commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Wyoming has significantly less development activity, 80.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction typically reinforces demand and pricing for existing properties, which is also under the national average, suggesting an established area with potential planning limitations. New building activity comprises 88.0% detached houses and 12.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining Wyoming's suburban identity with a focus on family homes. The population density per dwelling approval is approximately 1542 people, indicating an established market.

With stable or declining population forecasts, Wyoming may experience less housing pressure, creating favourable conditions for buyers.

The employment landscape in Wyoming shows performance that lags behind national averages across key labour market indicators

Wyoming has a skilled workforce with essential services sectors well-represented. The unemployment rate is 4.5%, with an estimated employment growth of 2.5% over the past year (AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data).

As of September 2025, 4,681 residents are employed, with an unemployment rate at 4.5%, 0.3% higher than Greater Sydney's rate of 4.2%. Workforce participation stands at 54.1%, lower than Greater Sydney's 60.0%. Key employment industries include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Wyoming has a significant employment specialization in health care & social assistance (1.4 times the regional level), while professional & technical services employ only 6.6% of local workers, below Greater Sydney's 11.5%.

The area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, indicated by the Census working population count compared to resident population. Between September 2024 and September 2025, employment levels increased by 2.5%, labour force grew by 3.2%, causing unemployment to rise by 0.6 percentage points (AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data). In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment grow by 2.1%, labour force expand by 2.4%, with unemployment rising by 0.2 percentage points. State-level data from NSW up to 25-Nov-25 shows employment contracted by 0.03% (-2,260 jobs), with the state unemployment rate at 3.9%. Nationally, the unemployment rate stands at 4.3%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts (May-25) project overall growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Wyoming's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by approximately 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though these are simple extrapolations for illustrative purposes and do not account for localized population projections.
